Marie, I thought I read Charles and colvard needs a minimum ordered and it's large so I think I read moissaniteco is going to try an order with schubachs. Don't quote me on it! They came in btw but are not graded very good, just good, which means they have inclusions, which depending if they are like diamond inclusions, is ok with me! Makes it more diamond like I would think. Mike posted they are going to offer 25% off these stones but I'm not sure if that still stands. I can't wait to see a video! I hope the inclusions are speckles and not lines.

I think you may be confusing the OEC w/ the potential ACC. The OEC's will be a standard offering the ACC is proposed see thread here. smile

About the green, I think I got it from here: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/topics/675825/all/OEC_Moissanite_Pics
But the amora treatment probably dilutes it so it's hardly noticeable.

I don't know, I'd really LOVE to have an OEC stone in my ring, but what if it's too yellow - or even green...

It will be very interesting to read more reviews and see more pics when the new batch has arrived.


Hi!
I just posted pics of my amora OEC in its setting. My original review was of it loose. Now that I've gotten it set and have been able to see it in even more lighting conditions, it's really H. I have it in a halo of E-F stones and it looks right at home in there. I realized the only times it looks more tinted is when it is reflecting a nearby color, or not getting as much light from my head obstructing the light, which is the same thing that diamonds do, LOL. Or when I'm in my car, but that's because I have really dark tint on my windows. I absolutely love the stone. Pictures really don't do it justice.
